When you arrive in Israel you PMA will greet you at the airport and assist you in getting to the hospital (or other accommodations as the case may be). Your personal escort will help sign you in and start the first stage of your program – the diagnostic analysis of your condition. Your PMA will speak your native language and accompany you on all your specialist visits and consultation and will even be there for your surgery. He/she will liaise on your behalf with all the medical staff and facilitate your every need, including translations.

When you have been discharged from the hospital and cleared by your primary physician, you can begin your rehabilitation post treatment phase.

Physical therapy sessions are incorporated when needed and are all arranged for you.

A final checkup with your primary physician is arranged before you leave and you PMA will maintain contact after you return home for as long as is needed. The PMA will also communicate with your family doctor at home as needed.
